48. Hillary Clinton's evolution on LGBT issues

• In 1996 she supported DOMA
• In 1999, she stated at a fundraiser "she supported "domestic-partnership measures" that permitted homosexual partners to receive the same health and financial benefits as married couples." However, she still supported DOMA (Source: CNN.com , Feb 11, 2000)
• In 1999, she was also in favor of lifting the ban on homosexuals in combat (Source: “Inside Politics” Dec 9, 1999)
• In June 2003, she introduced legislation that granted homosexual couples the same rights as our heterosexual counterparts.
• In July of 2003, she wouldn't answer whether or not she still supported DOMA when asked in an interview
• In 2008, she was still pushing for civil unions and stating that states should decide but declaed she saw no reason that LGBTs should be treated differently under the law nor should our unions be less respected
• In 2011, she gave the UN speech that "Gays rights are human rights"
• In 2013, she released the Human Rights Campaign video in full support of marriage equality

If this is a fast evolution on the issue, I'd hate to see if she'd gone slow.

How many LGBT individuals do you know whose parents or families are still "evolving" on the issue? I was fortunate when I came out to my parents that they accepted me but I know people who are still fighting that fight with their families.
